I have had a few readers tell me they are having issues printing coupons off of Coupons.com. In doing a little research there seems to be a “redirect virus” going on and it is sending people to another website when they are trying to print from Coupons.com.
Coupons.com posted a message on their Facebook page about how to fix it. If you are having any problems be sure to follow the link in the message below and read more about how to handle this problem on your computer:
There are some posts about a virus being passed around the Web. This issue is unrelated to Coupons.com. There is a Fake AVG Anti-Virus virus that is redirecting users’ browsers when they visit certain websites. See: http://bit.ly/fiGNxI. Users who are seeing this redirect should search the Web for “Fake AVG Removal” for removal information. We can assure you that Coupons.com is not distributing viruses of any kind.
Thanks, Common Sense with Money!
This happened to me twice before I could figure out what website it was coming from. (I often have a lot going on my computer at once) If it wasn’t coming from the coupons.com website (like they had been hacked) than why did I have issues both times I went there? Has anyone been to their website since?
I have to say that I don’t think that the response by Coupons.com was very good. Seems to me that they should be working with Facebook to solve this problem not leave some cryptic instructions for consumers to have to figure out.
This happened to me yesterday when I was working on my new laptop! It took me ALL DAY to figure out how to get the virus off…..ugh!
My computer shuts down every time I use the coupons.com link from your blog. I’ve never allowed any kind of ‘redirect’ while using their site. It appears to me that coupons.com is not being completely forthcoming.
Hi! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
My blog covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe
we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested
feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
Terrific blog by the way!
